Ever Sunshine Services Group Limited (ES SERVICES) filed a Next Day Disclosure Return on 30 June 2026, confirming continued execution of its on-market share-buyback programme. Key points are as follows:
• Share capital unchanged: The company’s issued share capital remained at 1.72 billion ordinary shares as of both 29 June and 30 June 2026, with no treasury shares on hand.
• Latest repurchase: On 30 June 2026, ES SERVICES bought back 0.20 million shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at prices between HKD 1.63 and HKD 1.65, spending HKD 0.33 million in total. These shares are designated for cancellation but were still outstanding as at the reporting date.
• Cumulative pending cancellations: Including the 30 June transaction, the company now holds 10.75 million shares pending cancellation, equivalent to roughly 0.62 % of its current issued share base. Repurchased quantities since 31 March 2026 mainly comprised daily tranches of 0.20 million shares, with one 0.15 million-share tranche on 5 June.
• Repurchase mandate utilisation: Under the mandate approved on 13 May 2026, the company is authorised to repurchase up to 171.74 million shares. To date, 5.55 million shares (0.32 % of issued shares at mandate date) have been bought on the Exchange.
• Issuance moratorium: In accordance with HKEX Main Board Rule 10.06(3)(a), ES SERVICES is restricted from issuing new shares or transferring treasury shares on-market until 30 July 2026 without prior approval from the Exchange.
The board confirmed all repurchases complied with HKEX listing rules and relevant legal requirements. Once the outstanding 10.75 million shares are formally cancelled, the company’s issued share count will decrease accordingly.
